A heavy, cut-out sans with a stencil-like construction: strokes are broad and blunt, with frequent vertical breaks and internal notches that read like bridge connections. Curves are built from rounded, squarish forms, giving counters a compact, superelliptical feel. The edges show purposeful roughness and slight waviness, suggesting an inked or worn application rather than a pristine geometric finish. Overall rhythm is steady and blocky, with simplified terminals and tightly contained counters that keep letters dense and bold on the line.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, headers, signage, packaging callouts, and product or shipping-style labels. It performs particularly well where a rugged, industrial impression is desired and where the stencil breaks can be read clearly at larger sizes.
The font projects a functional, no-nonsense tone—suggesting labels, equipment markings, and rugged signage. Its broken strokes and rugged texture add a sense of grit and physicality, while the rounded-rectangular construction keeps it approachable rather than sharp or aggressive.
The design appears intended to mimic practical stencil lettering while retaining a rounded, contemporary base structure. It prioritizes strong silhouettes and a manufactured, stamped/painted feel, creating an assertive display voice that remains orderly and consistent.
Distinctive breaks in letters like O, C, G, and S reinforce the stencil impression and help maintain legibility at display sizes. Numerals follow the same cut-out logic, with compact shapes and strong silhouette clarity.
